ELECTRONIC MUSCLE STIMULATION AND FITNESS PROGRAMS In response to an inquiry made by Joe Imperiale and John M. Kulick about using electronic muscle stimulation for fitness, a doctoral student, Mark Hirsch of Florida State University, sent a reply mentioning a two year study with a physical therapy program that is achieving results that are "quite remarkable". Joe and I would like to know more. What have been the benefits? What are the complications? Is EMS painful? What are the balance exercises? How do you monitor success? How do the people feel the program is working? What is the exercise program like? How hard would it be to extend a branch off shoot of your study up into Connecticut?
